  • Near Surface Mineralisation – 44 surface samples grading > 55%

  • Located in synclinal structure (~ 1.5 kms x 0.5 kms) within Mt Newman member at top of Marra Mamba formation

  • Main minerals are martite and goethite

  • 120 kms to Cape Lambert Port

  • Near surface mineralisation

  • JORC reserves in excess of 400Mt @ 61.7% Fe

Yarraloola - Summary

  • Analogous geology to West Angelas operating mine – but with significantly larger synclinal structure

  • Significant target geology completed confirming all major Fe formations present

  • Drilling to commence in May 2012

  • Significant potential infrastructure including both rail and port

  • Close proximity to shipping ports and world class iron ore mines

17

King-X Project Early Exploration Manganese Project – Kalahari Basin Analogue

King-X Project tenements located in the Earaheedy Basin of WA which is situated approximately 100 Kms Northeast of Wiluna Advanced geological sampling and mapping completed showing significant Manganese outcropping Rock chip samples – 82 with grades > 30% Mn and 25 with grades > 40% Mn

==> picture [293 x 208] intentionally omitted <==

18

King-X Project

The tenement package is contiguous over the Manganese rich horizon with approximately 120 kms of strike length

Identification of palaeo lake beds and palaeochannels with Fe rich pisolite gravels showing prospectivity for CID’s Epithermal style quartz indicating prospectivity for gold and base mineralisation

19

King-X Summary

Kalahari basin in South Africa has a similar scale, age and formation history to the Earaheedy Basin in WA. The Kalahari basin is home to 50% of world’s known Manganese resource and produces 80% of the World’s high quality Manganese.

Earaheedy basin has the potential to host significant Manganese deposits.

King – X tenements are located 300kms from the rail head at Malcolm (near Leonara) and Manganese ore could be processed on site and transported by road to Malcolm and by rail to the ports of Esperance or Fremantle.

Substantial package of contiguous tenements with numerous high grade Manganese samples throughout.

20

Buddadoo Project

VMS Magnetite Project in WA’s emerging mid west province

The Buddadoo project is located approximately 425 km north of Perth and 180 km east of Geraldton

Exploration to target a massive titanomagnetite deposit

The tenement E59 /1350 which contains the Buddadoo complex is approximately 8.6 kms long and 2.4 wide.

Assays up to 54% Fe, with best drill intersection of 108 metres @ 32.9% Fe and 12.1% TiO 2

==> picture [361 x 256] intentionally omitted <==

Also contains results of 3.15 metres @ 3.8% Cu and 3.4% Zn. Rock chip samples containing malachite with up to 20% Cu

21

Buddadoo Project

Infrastructure

The Buddadoo project has proximity to infrastructure with the rail siding at Morawa approximately 70 km to the South West. The Morawa to Yalgoo road which is currently being upgraded, intersects the tenements provides trucking access.

CZR – Exploration Budget

  • 1 Preliminary drilling on Yarraloola Project

$500,000

  • 2 Pilbara Heritage and Site access development

$400,000

  • 3 Infill drilling (JORC) on Yarraloola Project

  • 4 Preliminary drilling on King-X Project

  • 5 Infill drilling (JORC) on King-X Project

  • 6 Follow up drill program on Buddadoo Project

$9,000,000 $800,000 $4,500,000 $500,000

This is a preliminary estimate only based on a capital raising of $20m and will be adjusted as geological results merit.

The first drill program on the Yarraloola project is forecast to enable 80 RC drill holes to be completed.
